“How to Write Funny involved more writing, less listening, and more laughing than I expected—all of which was good. The feedback on my writing was positive, yet helpful and insightful. Thanks for a great weekend. The laughing alone was worth it.”

“What I liked about the workshop: I discovered that it’s just fun to write for pleasure!”

“I very much enjoyed all aspects of the workshop. Hearing my story read aloud and being able to gauge the reactions of the listeners was very helpful—and gratifying. I found the writing exercises and handouts very useful too, I learned a lot. I also found it interesting to learn about and use different “voices” and approaches to humor writing. By trying different options, I learned which I like best, which I’m best at, and how to apply different voices to reach different audiences. I think my stories will benefit from everything I learned at the workshop and I thank you very much for teaching me what I needed to know.”

“I really liked hearing the pieces everyone wrote, and the personal advice we received. The hand-out is great, really useful for practising ‘writing funny’ on our own.”

“Thank you very much for loosening up some of my residual tight-assed-ness about the absurdity of the world.”

“I liked the workshop. At some point during the weekend, I even considered a career as stand-up comedian. That’s how surprised I was to discover my hidden talent! Thank you very much.”

“I enjoyed the dynamic of the group, which was refreshingly non-aggressive and unpretentious. I think you delivered a super course that was engaging and interactive.”
